Abstract
- In this paper, various time dissemination options, devices and software applications for synchronization of the devices to Indian Standard Time (IST) have been discussed. As CSIR-NPL is working toward the nation-wide dissemination of IST, various time dissemination options, devices and mobile applications need to be developed in order to achieve this mission. Presently, a user can access IST provided by NTP server of CSIR-NPL via network with domain name "time.nplindia.in" which can be accessed using a computer only. Two network time display devices using Raspberry Pi and ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, respectively, have been developed which are programmed to obtain proper time code from the CSIR-NPL's NTP service and display it. The realized compact and affordable IST display devices have been tested with available authenticated national time source and offer ms-level accuracy of IST synchronization. These displays, once programmed for network configuration, will work standalone provided a stable internet connection is available. Additionally, with most of the services available in mobile software application, an android application for a user/client to directly access IST has been developed. The mobile application displays accurate IST obtained from CSIR-NPL's NTP servers. This application developed by NPL, the NMI of India, will become IST dissemination service (with ms accuracy) having wider reach than any other time dissemination service. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
